Desmond Conner looks at five aspects of the UConn-South Florida game (Saturday, 7 p.m., ESPNU). No turnovers: The Huskies are going against a defense that gives up a lot of points and hasn't recorded an interception in 32 quarters this year, 480 minutes, all eight games. It¿s an embarrassing stat for the Bulls, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Huskies helped South Florida snap the skid. There are only three quarterbacks in the country who have more interceptions that quarterback Chandler Whitmer (11), and there are very few teams that have a minus 1.13 turnover ratio such as the Huskies.

Stop B.J. Daniels: The talented senior quarterback who can be sensational at running the Bulls' zone read option offense must be contained. If he is allowed to run and pass at his leisure, the Huskies are coming home with loss No. 6. He can be rattled in the passing game, but he can also hurt you. Daniels had thrown for 1,876 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has thrown nine interceptions, too. Daniels has also rushed for 411 yards and four touchdowns on 94 carries. The Huskies need be up on their keys against this offense to know what¿s coming, or it could very well look like UConn at Syracuse again, a 40-10 Huskies' loss. That was not a pretty picture.
